If F2.0 Tour is the former Bio 200 Tour then the weight is changed (much lower, according to what borgpro said),
the string pattern is 18x20 instead of 16x18 and there are 3 pairs of strings instead of 4 on the bridge portion of the head.

I am willing to stock on Bio 200 Tour if the new version is so much different.
But first I need to make sure I know the specs for the new 200 Tours. So anybody that knows something please reply.
Thanks

The specs listed on the frame (2.0 tour) were almost identical to the former bio 200 non-tour; like weight, balance, and string pattern. The only thing I noticed that the SW seemed a tad higher than the previous non-tour to me when swinging it through the air, but not as high as the previous tour. It just felt a bit more solid than the 200 non-tour (323 grams, 18x20) and I would estimate the SW at 325-330. The other clear difference with the current 200 versions was the round beam, like a Wilson sixone, and not a box beam design anymore. I think It is possible to see this at the pictures.

Finally, someone asked me about other versions and I said ai did not take a look at them but I forgot to mention that I actually did also hold and wield a new 90 si version. I do not recall the name but I think it was still named a 100 something (and not 1.0) but I am not sure anymore, but I do remember it was black with grey (very nice cosmetics), box beam, and 315 grams. Perhaps just the same racket as the current 100 only different paint? Looked very nice though, almost like a PS 6.0 85
The 2.0, as said before, seemed a completely new racket and mold. Felt very nice swinging it, sometimes you have this feeling that balance and weight are just right.... Curious to hit with this 2.0 tour thing!

I can only hope the previous 16 x 18, 333g 200 tours will be under a new name or an option within a 200 Tour range. The 4D/Bio 200 Tours were great sticks and one of only a few lines available that came close to pro specs and worthwhile playing in stock form. :cry:

IIRC... F100 Classic or something like that.
I'm sure it's one of the models featured in the "classic" mini line.
Old headshape and beam.
However it is supposed to have the new techs like biofibre, but we all know it's just marketing.

I find F 100 definitely better looking than Bio 100, and even my good old 4D 100. I hope it retains the classic feel. It will still be a good few years before I consider upgrading though... I will patiently wait for the model to be outdated and prices drop.

Delighted to say that the UK website which sells the Dunlop line (whose name I won't mention) momentarily put the Bio 200Tours up for £33 each about 10 days ago. Took the opportunity to stock up before they went back up to £65 a couple of days later. Maybe someone made a mistake on internet pricing. If the new line is going to push the Bios down to that kind of price I think there will be quite a feeding frenzy...
